Swimmin' In The Sea |
| When I was five |
| We’d get up at four |
| And drive on down to the Cornwall shore |
| Our holidays had come at last |
| They came real slow and went by fast |
| Well, just one week, that’s all we had |
| Then back to work went mom and dad |
| Happy to be, swimmin' in the sea |
| The seagulls yell |
| You’re getting near |
| We’d waited patiently all year |
| And we hadn’t slept a wink all night |
| White faces in the morning light |
| I see the sea my sister cried |
| The seaside we’d soon be beside |
| Happy to be, swimmin' in the sea |
| Down to the sand |
| With our bucket and our spade |
| Behind our yellow wind barricade |
| We’d bury dad up to his chin |
| On with our trunks we’d jump right in |
| 'Round our waist a rubber ring |
| And on each arm a water wing |
| Happy to be, swimmin' in the sea |
| It’s so cold |
| And rainin' too |
| We’d stay all day |
| Till our lips turned blue |
| Only a week |
| It wasn’t fair |
| We’re on holiday, holiday, holiday |
| And we don’t care! |
| In every pool |
| Stranded by the tide |
| Clams and fishes under seaweed hide |
| We’d catch them all in a fishin' net |
| As close to heaven as a kid could get |
| We’d dream of smugglers and pirate ships |
| Lunch was ice cream and a bag of chips |
| Happy to be swimmin' in the sea |
| Now to a kid of five |
| That rocky shore |
| Was a magical place full of tales and lore |
| Now the seagulls call once more to me |
| Hey come on back to the Cornish Sea |
| Now by the water by the foam |
| Just one more week and I’m going home |
| Happy to be, happy to be, happy to be, swimmin' in the sea |
| I’m swimmin' in the sea |
| I’m swimmin' in the sea |
| I’m swimmin' in the sea |
